HMRC has recently published a series of resources to help traders with the move from CHIEF to CDS.
For importers this is particularly relevant as the countdown for CHIEF will no longer accept import entries from 1st October 2022, whilst exporters will have more time with CHIEF closing down after the 1st March 2023.
It is important traders make plans to start the move sooner rather than later as with any new system, there could be some hiccups.
VAT registered businesses may have already been using Customs Declaration Service for VAT purposes. Before any business takes action, check if you are or not already registered and make sure HMRC has the right contact details for your business, so they can receive regular updates.
